It seems
that Donald Trump has completely forgot his "complaints"
about not being treated fairly by the mainstream media cameras in his
rallies. As we walk closer to the day of the US elections, Trump
appears to be making a turn of 180 degrees concerning the US
corporate media establishment. From The
Intercept :
Early on,
media executives in charge of much of America’s broadcasting
industry were worried that Donald Trump, who eschewed traditional
political advertising, might dampen prospects for a high-spending
campaign season.
That fear
is gone.
The
Intercept reviewed the past six months of investor earnings calls
and presentations of major media companies. In the first few
months of this year, some executives expressed concern that Trump
might continue to rely on his extraordinary free media exposure
and spend less money than traditional Republican candidates. But
over the last two months, the concern has dissipated and
transformed into excitement that this year is on track to be the
most expensive election in history.
[...]
Trump’s
role in the campaign added negativity, nasty campaign ads, and
higher ratings, he [Les Moonves, the chief executive of CBS Corp.]
noted two months later, making Trump “good for us
economically.” He added that Trump “may not be good for
America, but it’s damn good for CBS, that’s all I got to say.”
While Trump does not hesitate to
trash reporters who cross him, the real estate mogul loves to gush
about his warm relationship with media executives. In a recent
interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Trump heaped praise on the
heads of Fox News, CNN, and CBS. On Moonves, Trump had this to
say: “Great guy. The greatest. We’re on the same page. We
think alike.”

Now that his
most serious opponent, Bernie Sanders, on the road to the presidency,
appears to be losing the battle against Hillary, it's time for Donald
to abandon the anti-establishment game. He will need all the support
that he can get from the corporate media in order to have a chance
against - the fully promoted by the establishment mechanisms -
Hillary Clinton.
Unfortunately,
this leads us again to a quite familiar equation from the past, in
which only the names are changed:
Hillary
vs Trump = zero options for the American voters and the planet
In previous article already has been pointed that:
“According
to one tally of nightly broadcast network news during the 2015
primary season, Sanders received a total of 20 minutes of
coverage, compared to Clinton’s 121 minutes and Trump’s 327.”
(NY Times)
and
“Another
study that focused solely on network coverage showed Sanders
receiving 6 percent of the coverage Trump did on network news in
2015, and 16.5 percent that of Clinton.”
(Alternet)
The most
impressive here is not that Sanders has so little time coverage
compared to the other two. This was something, more or less,
expected. The most impressive, is that Donald Trump, who is
promoted as "anti-establishment", takes more time
coverage in the media, even compared to the
definitely-pro-establishment Hillary Clinton!
Which is another strong indication
to our estimation that Trump
is only a reserve of the establishment.
